It was a bad game that was badly done...Nothing to blame at RTWP. Which are after first go a breeze. Prescripted battles are more RT based solution because with no scripts AI has no other chance to rush with superior numbers and reactions and trust that the Player can't control his character(s) with same fluency, this is especially true with especially with more 1-2 characters. Therefore RT with pause gives the player a chance to control each character INDIVIDUALLY instead of controlling just one character badly. The problem is still the lack of good "free" movement RT AI (pause doesn't help the computer!) that doesn't cheese.

The one thing I liked in NwN: SoU was the ability of a ranger or druid to communicate with and tame animals.

Topic A: The challenge and insane unfairness.

@Zantetsuken (way back) What I meant was that you can't do the amount of actions/decisions in RT without Pause that is necessary for fluent gameplaying hence giving unfair advantage to (usually lacking) AI especially with huge masses of controllable troops (most RTS are just isometric FPS ). A pause solves the problem but then the problem is the quality of AI and the implementation of eg. D&D turnbased ruleset to a realtime environment which will never satisfy the HC fans. TB OTOH eliminates much of the human error making the combat too pre-calculable and sometimes allows the use of TB-cheese eg. start combat, move out of cover, shoot, return to cover.

Are you being ignorant? Why do you want TB? Because you can't do 2 or more things at the same time. RTWP IS the solution for it: With pure RT you need more feedback and instant controls than you can achieve without a) oversimplification of controls and hence the actions & game B) AI takes care of most actions c) direct neural link d) inhuman mouse hand RT is mainly FPS for this particular reason. (RTS is just isometric FPS ) OTOH TB is better if you prefer better AI; the one that doesn't overpower with the ability to control more resources at the same time than any human being can (vs RT AI) or just better AI that has more time to crunch the number. Perhaps if you prefer to use cheese TB enabled methods and tactics. OT: All games are TB, only the turn length differs

Well...if they reshape the UI of PST and make the gameplay overall less tedious then why not?

L337 way to spell Genie (derived from genius, don't ask) which became an insider joke: Look it's G-Three-N-One-Three. As for avatar, it's an upside down Xzar...Nuff said.

Why not a mix?

Well...console games ~ crappy games as the controls do limit the complexity.

I dislike the (default) sig color..

I dislike tha dark outlook. and hi to y'all :D
